CTEK 3300 Charger question

[Uncle Buck]

I hooked up my Ctek to my trolling battery and the middle (orange/yellow) light is flashing, and the green light beside it is on (not flashing)...

 

any ideas? nothing coming up in the manual for this...

 

Thanks,

Make sure the connections are tight on the battery and on the quick-connect.

Google searches say that a green light that's constantly on with the amber/orange light flashing is a bad connection. This is how they put it.

 

Explanation 1: Bad connection.

Test: Move the clamps and make sure there is no loose connection in the quick connector.

 

Explanation 2: The charger is working in the desulphation phase.

Test: Leave the charger to charge for 24h (with some supervision). If the charger does not start charging (one of the LED’s are lit) within 24h the battery is in a very poor condition.

Explanation 3: CTEK Chargers can only recognize batteries less than 25 years old. Stop being so cheap and just go buy a new one
